If wind speed is greater than 5 mph and is moving in the direction of adjacent sensitive crops, or if wind is gusty, do not spray near sensitive plants. An adequate buffer zone should be maintained between sensitive plants and areas to be treated.

desirable plants (such as trees and shrubs), do not treat in these areas.Drift reducing additives (agriculturally approved) may be used to mitigate drift.

If normal harvest of treated crops has occurred, there are no crop rotation restrictions.

follow up with planting a sensitive crop if interval is shortened (f. ex., cover crops that will be plowed under). Crops under stress (such as drought, seedling disease, high soil pH or salt content, foliar damage due to insects, wind or hail) can display injury symptoms that can be more noticeable upon application of herbicides.

For aerial application, apply 1 to 40 gallons per treated acre of diluted spray in a water-based carrier. For ground application, apply 3 to 600 gallons per treated acre of diluted spray.

Weed or brush type, height and density, as well as type of ground application equipment used all affect the volume of spray applied.

Undesirable vegetation growing in individual clumps or small areas may be spot treated with a handgun or other type of application equipment used for spot treatment. Apply dilute sprays to foliage and stems up to run-off (complete wetting).
